Send Nathalia a Text Message! What does my nose job have to do with your fitness journey? A lot more than you think. In this episode, I talk about invisible struggles—the kind no one else sees, but you live with every single day. I share how living with a deviated septum quietly impacted my sleep, energy, confidence, motherhood, and work in ways even the people closest to me didn’t fully understand.

Send Nathalia a Text Message! In today’s episode, I’m calling out fitness and wellness trends that need to be left in 2025. I’ve been seeing the same ideas recycled online, often by people who sound confident but are making fat loss more confusing than it needs to be.

In this episode, I cover: • why calorie deficits still matter • how hormones and cortisol are being misunderstood • why cycle syncing and over tracking are unnecessary • how trendy tools are replacing consistency If you feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice or tired of chasing the next “fix,” this episode will bring some clarity. 🎧 Press play for a direct, no-BS conversation about fat loss, consistency, and why simpler usually works better.
